() Chu stood up, and there were already courtiers surrounding him, congratulating him, he turned his eyes to look at Chu Lin, it was a victor's posture, he didn't care what identity he gave Du Mei, and the title he said to the concubine before was just for show, so that everyone sympathized. He didn't care if he got her heart or not, all he wanted was Mei Kee property and a house slave who could bring him endless benefits!

Chu Lin hid the pain in his heart, stretched his eyebrows, piled up a slight smile on his face, walked towards Chu with vigorous steps, and said congratulations to him!

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Chu Lin walked out of the palace gate alone, the summer sun shone on the earth without hesitation, the bright sun was dazzling, a little beggar who sold newspapers quickly stuffed a Beijing tabloid into his hand, and then ran away.

Chu Lin quickly put the tabloid in his sleeve, quietly took the reins handed over by Zhao Ji'an, turned over and got on the horse, and the master and servant slowly returned to the Beijing camp.

Walking into his own barracks, Chu Lin closed the door and hurriedly called the tabloid, only to see that the word "proper" on the tabloid was drawn in a circle with a red pen. This special mark made him breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, thinking that Murong Xi had already done it, as for how to do it, it seemed that there was no need to know.

Chu Lin and Murong Xi are doing this non-stop, Du Mei is not worrying these days, Mei Ji's business is not as hot as words, and she directly robbed the business of other restaurants and restaurants on the street, her restaurant is full every day, and the individual customers in the front hall have to turn over two or three times every time, while other stores are full of people every day, only those guests who have not made an appointment to Mei Ji and can't wait will occasionally patronize them.

Some short-sighted proprietresses, seeing that the business is declining, they are a little unable to sit still, they do not delve into the dishes, improve the taste, but blindly resent Du Mei, often stand on the street for no reason insinuation, pointing at Sang and scolding Huai.

Du Mei usually ignored it, but in the midst of their invective, she vaguely heard one thing, and that was that her business was all based on men's bets.

Early this morning, the proprietress of the Chunjiang restaurant on the east side of the street came out to scold the street again, her mouth was very good, she could scold for two hours in a row, without the same, Mei Ji's people were restrained in the restaurant by Du Mei, and they were not allowed to go out to pick up the stubble.

"Dongjia, don't listen to Zhang Sanniang's nonsense!" The shouting and scolding outside became more and more arrogant, Lin Zheng was mopping the floor in the front hall, and he comforted Du Mei behind the counter.

"What's this, Du Jiagou's aunts quarrel is much worse than this, I just thought, if Lin Dai has half of her kung fu, our business may be a little hotter." Du Mei smiled playfully.

"The owner is making fun of me again!" Lin Dai, who was planning to make a plate, was told by Du Meiyi, and his men panicked and dialed the wrong beads.

"Brother Dai should really grow up faster, the owner has so many things, he can't watch the restaurant every day." Lin Zheng said with a mop on his hand.

"I know." Lin Dai grabbed the abacus with ten fingers of both hands, shook it vigorously, the beads of the abacus returned to their places, and he began to calculate the accounts again.

"Sanniang's scolding is quite rhyming, and it's not worse than the drama, and I'm curious about which men are involved in the bet." Du Meito listened with his cheeks, and then remembered and asked Lin Zheng, "I asked you to pay more attention to what the guests are saying, what news is there recently?" ”

"I've been paying attention these days, and I've listened to half a word, I see that Song Gongzi, Murong Gongzi, and Ye Shopkeeper help them from time to time and introduce some guests to eat, where is it as unbearable as Zhang Sanniang's scolding!" Lin Zheng shook his head and continued to mop the floor.

"In that case, I should have thanked them with the whole table." Du Mei said with some annoyance

, these guys are so underestimating her cooking skills, they want to make all this mess!

"Boss, are you angry?" Lin Dai clearly sensed that Du Mei was unhappy.

"I'm just angry that they don't believe Mei Ji, although our business has more or less taken care of by them, but the current boom is also made by the big guys, just imagine, if our dishes taste bad, people sell their personal favors to eat once, how can they come every time, and there is no left of the dishes every time, because of this, I am not afraid of those aunts scolding the street at all." Du Mei shook his head, thought for a moment and said.

"Naturally, we don't have much to fear, it's just that they scolded too badly...... Lin Dai nodded.

Before he finished his words, he heard the sound of beating gongs and drumming suona outside, as well as Zhang Sanniang's howl like killing a pig.

"What's wrong?" The guys in the surrounding shops all stretched out their heads curiously, and Lin Zheng also poked his head out to look.

I saw a team of blowing and beating the bride price of eight people at the east end of the street, and Zhang Sanniang was slapped a few times by the white-faced man in the lead and pushed to the side.

"It's so magnificent, I don't know whose son hired this?"

"It seems that she is marrying a girl from our street."

"I haven't heard of any happy events, let's go and see."

The bride price and joy all the way to the door of Mei Ji, the man carrying the burden unloaded the bar wrapped in red cloth, and the suona gongs and drums behind him were blowing more and more desperately.

"When did the big shopkeeper of Mei Ji give permission?"

"Look at this posture, it's a big family."

……

Mei Ji is only one girl, Du Mei, seeing this situation, everyone naturally thinks so, and for a while, there are more and more onlookers, talking in whispers.

Du Mei came out when she heard the voice, and when she saw the big red color fight and Bai Sheng who was smiling with flowers on his face, she frowned and said, "Mr. Bai, what are you doing here?" ”

"Congratulations to Mrs., Mrs. Hexi, the prince of Shu has already obtained the emperor's permission, and he will marry you in the near future!" Bai Sheng's face was full of joy, and he reached the authentic place.

"What nonsense are you talking about?!" When Du Mei heard this, his intuition was buzzing. If it is true that people sit at home, woe will come from heaven.

"I know that my wife is thin-skinned, and she is shy at this time, and I am not allowed to show off, but there are still three or five days, and you have to marry into the palace, and you must be allowed to say hello to these neighbors." Bai Sheng deliberately made a servile face, so that everyone who didn't know why was convinced.

"The big shopkeeper is so blessed, marrying into the Shu Wangfu as a wife is much better than opening a restaurant by yourself to do business."

"Yes, yes, I heard that the King of Shu is good-tempered and good-natured, so the big shopkeeper can be content."

……

When the onlookers saw Bai Sheng being so humble, they immediately started to make a commotion.

Only Du Mei is like a mirror in his heart, if he wants to say that the last time he talked about joining the gang was a secret robbery, this ridiculous marriage is an open robbery! Besides, Chu is almost forty years old, and he can be Du Mei's father, how crazy is this man, he dares to ask the emperor's decree to marry her as a concubine!

"I think the King of Shu must have been mistaken, I never promised this family business!" Du Mei said coldly.

At this time, in broad daylight, it was clear and clear, and Du Mei and Bai Sheng couldn't do anything to her, so he refused strongly.

"Since ancient times, the words of the matchmaker of the parents' orders are just because the lady happens to be in Jiangling City, so the prince ordered me to send the bride price to you for a look." Bai Sheng was not annoyed, and still said with a smile.

"My mother won't agree to this family affair at all!" Dumay ruthlessly debunks his lies.

"Your mother's errand

It's actually a woman's family, and your marriage is naturally your father's decision! Bai Sheng smiled proudly, making people want to slap him, but they couldn't.

"My dad?" Du Mei was a little stunned, if her father was still alive and could marry her, she probably wouldn't have to work so hard.

"That's right, Du Jue, the county lord of Qinghe County, is our in-law master." Bai Sheng owes his body and makes a gesture.

"Mr. Nabai must be mistaken, my father's name is Du Erjin, he has been dead for more than a year, I'm afraid he won't be able to call the shots for me." Du Mei gritted her teeth, and she suddenly realized that she was afraid that she had fallen into a trap that had been woven a long time ago.

"Madame said with a smile, the prince has already read your household registration documents, and your mother has passed you over to the county lord to put an end to being the third daughter." Bai Sheng finally said the most devastating thing, and he raised his eyebrows and looked at Du Mei, just waiting to see how desperate she wept.

"You're daytalking, aren't you?" Du Mei didn't believe that her mother would pass her on to someone else, life was so difficult at the beginning, the family ate wild vegetables and mush, but there was none, and now life is better, let alone not.

"Whether it's true or not, you can go back and look at the household registration papers." Bai Sheng squinted his eyes and smiled, he waved his hand, let the person who was happy to fight carry the bride price, and said, "A piece of the prince's heart, please also ask the lady to smile." ”

"Where did you come from, please go back, you are not welcome here!" Du Mei opened his arms to block the door and said sharply.

"Why is Madam so stubborn, embarrassed me and waiting for my subordinates to go back to my life!" Bai Sheng made a look, and those who like to fight are about to break through.

"If our host doesn't agree, let's see who dares to come hard!" Lin Zheng led the Lin brothers and the cooks in the restaurant, blocking the door with firewood sticks, and more than a dozen strong men glared angrily, which was quite frightening.

"What is this for? We'll be a family soon! Bai Sheng was a little surprised, a girl from Du Mei actually enveloped the people in the restaurant so well, and they were willing to sacrifice their lives for her.

"Get out of here, or we'll beat you out!" Lin Zheng stepped forward, stood beside Du Mei, and shouted.

"Madam, think about it, this is the emperor's marriage, disobeying the holy decree, but you have to lose your head, you don't want these people to bury you." Bai Sheng snorted coldly.

The household registration documents have fixed Du Mei, whether she wants to or not, this family business is a certainty, and she can't run away. If she doesn't marry Chu, she is disobeying the emperor's order, even if Chu Ken gives up marrying her, in the future, ordinary men will not have the courage to marry her. And Chu Fei tried his best to do this, even if Du Mei was a cold corpse, he would not hesitate to carry it into the mansion in a sedan chair, in the final analysis, what he wanted was not Du Mei's life or death, but Mei Ji, who could make money!

"I will lose my head, and I will not marry the prince of your family!" Du Mei stood with his back straight and said with a cold face.

At this time, she really responded to Du Zhong and Zhong Yu's words, her business was doing so well that it had already attracted the coveting of others, and she wanted to occupy it by unscrupulous means several times, and this time she gave birth to such a dirty method.

"You have it, you just wait." Bai Shengming came to hire him on the surface, if there was a big fight at this time, it would be spread out, and it would damage the reputation of the Shu Palace, so he thought about it again, so he had to snort angrily and take people away.

The onlookers couldn't figure out the situation for a while, but they were very admirable for Du Mei's courage to refuse marriage, although Chu was a prince, but in the end, when he was middle-aged, there were not only a few concubines in the mansion who were like wolves and tigers, but also a pair of children, almost as big as Du Mei, if he entered the mansion at that time, he didn't know how to be tortured!

Bai Sheng left, the neighbors also dispersed, Mei Ji's people gathered in the front hall, Lin Dai said a little anxiously: "The person who came is not good, what can I do?" ”
